The Role
As a Senior Data Operations Analyst on the Veeva Compass Product Team, you will play a key role in supporting the core data structures and processes that drive our Master Data Management (MDM) system—essential to the success of the Compass suite of data products. You’ll contribute to data governance initiatives that ensure consistency, integrity, and high-quality standards across the platform.
You will be responsible for driving data quality, consistency, standardization, and governance within the Terminology Reference Library (TRL), Veeva’s Master Data Management (MDM) system for health data terminologies used by Compass. TRL includes foundational reference data such as drug information, ICD-10 diagnosis codes, procedure and lab codes, and payer and plan data. While you won’t directly administer the MDM system, you’ll act as a power user and subject matter expert—collaborating with system owners, engineers, and product managers to define requirements, support the onboarding of new data types, and identify areas for improvement. Your contributions will help ensure our reference data stays accurate, consistent, and well-integrated across our products.
This role is well-suited for someone with a strong understanding of MDM principles and lifecycle, who has worked with MDM systems in a user or subject matter expert capacity, and is passionate about data quality and governance.
What You'll Do
- Support the implementation of MDM-related strategies and practices that help ensure high-quality, consistent, and standardized reference data across Compass products
- Contribute to data governance efforts by helping define and maintain standards, documentation, and stewardship models for master health data domains
- Develop a deep understanding of key health data domains—such as drugs, diagnoses, procedures, labs, and payers—to define data quality metrics and monitor performance
- Analyze data sets to identify quality issues and partner with engineering and product teams to design and implement solutions
- Create and maintain clear documentation of data dictionaries, taxonomies, definitions, attributes, and mappings across internal and external data sources
- Collaborate with Compass Product Managers and Engineers to support scalable, automated data processes that ensure trusted data delivery
- Assist in bringing new data sources into the Terminology Reference Library (TRL), Veeva’s MDM system, and improve existing data categories, while also handling routine operations to ensure information remains accurate and up to date
Requirements
- Demonstrated experience supporting or contributing to data governance efforts, including defining data standards, taxonomies, naming conventions, and documentation to improve data quality and consistency
- Familiarity with master data management (MDM) concepts and experience working with MDM systems (e.g., Veeva Network, Informatica) in a user or stakeholder role
- Hands-on experience onboarding new data sources, including data profiling, metadata assessment, validation, and quality control
- Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with experience designing or supporting processes for managing reference or master data across systems
- Experience working with healthcare terminology data such as ICD-10, CPT/HCPCS, and NDC
- Proficient in SQL for querying, analyzing, and validating large data sets
- Comfortable collaborating across teams to define data requirements and support ongoing improvements to data quality and reliability
